Hey!!! Every birdie, I am SO excited!! When my Goose Hunters (14/11yo Grandsons) returned with their geese (they took two each!) we were cleaning them and WOW! At our Peterson Bluebird box -- !!! There were SIX Bluebirds!! They went inside - outside - on top - on the wires. Maybe, just MAYBE, they like what they saw and will return next spring! Cross your fingers for me. Our last "renters" were a couple of years ago, so I'm hoping. Also, in our little maple tree, there was a Red Breasted Nuthatch moving around the trunk. WOW, don't you just LOVE this time of year?? The leaves are changing, the flowers are providing seed for the wintering birds and there is a crispness to the air! Oh, I guess I should tell you what I saw at the SM Fish Hatchery as well: Baird's Sandpiper Pectoral SP Killdeer CAGO XXXXX Mallards RB Gulls Herring Gull Enjoy, Jill Bowers Auglaize County ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
